DANGER!  
Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!

When disconnecting an electric circuit carrying direct current, 
electric arcs can occur that may result in life-threatening injuries.

 

Ä

Do NOT unplug the cable when under load.

 

Ä

Do NOT connect any exposed cable ends.

 

Ä

Do NOT touch the poles at the same time.

A solar module generates electrical current and voltage even at a 
low intensity of illumination. Sparks and electric arcs may result 
from the separation of a closed circuit. These can result in life-
threatening injuries. The danger increases when several modules 
are connected in series.

 

Ä

Please ensure that the entire open circuit voltage is active even 
at low levels of solar irradiation. 

 

Ä

Please follow the valid national regulations and safety guidelines 
for the installation of electrical devices and systems.

 

Ä

Please make sure to take all necessary safety precautions. With 
module or phase voltages of more than 120 V, the extra-low 
voltage range is exceeded.

 

Ä

Carry out work on the inverter and the wiring with extreme caution.

 

Ä

Ensure that the modules are disconnected at the inverter prior 
to separation.

 

Ä

Be sure to observe the specified time intervals after switching off 

the inverter. High-voltage components need time to discharge.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Never open the junction box.

 

Ä

Change of bypass diodes is only allowed by 

qualified and trained personnel in disconnected 

and covered state.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Never touch live contacts with bare hands.

 

Ä

Do not touch the poles at the same time.

 

Ä

Cover connectors by suitable protective caps until 
installation.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Insulate any exposed cable ends.

 

Ä

Only connect cables with plugs.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Only use dry, insulated tools for electrical work.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Ensure correct polarity.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Be sure to maintain the time intervals as specified 

by the inverter manufacturer between switching off 
the inverter and beginning any further work.

DANGER

! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 

 

Ä

Never unplug the cable when under load.

1.

 Switch off the inverter.

OFF

EN

3.

 Switch off the DC circuit breaker.

 

Ä

Disconnect plugs by the use of appropriate 

and qualified tools of the manufacturer Tyco or 

Multicontact (adequate for PV4 plug type).

2.

 Cover the modules to be disconnected.
